THANKS,

that oil light is sourced from a sensor near your oil filter, check it out there first.

Hey - I'm new to this forum, but I'm having the exact same deal.
Did you find out what the problem was with your oil light flashing, and how did it get solved?

My oil light started blinking 2 weeks ago while driving home. It blinked while driving, then when the car idled (traffic light) it would light up constantly, then went back to blinking while driving.

I freaked and thought the oil was low so I got the oil changed right then. It bllinked after that and then in the morning. But then in the afternoon, it was fine - no light. And it stayed fine til tonight - its blinking again. Oil level looks good, no burning, and the oil still look gold, no leaks on the garage or parking lot.

Ideas or comments? How big and bad a job (time and cost) is a new oil pump - is it a common problem? Not sure how much more I should put into this car, tho its been the greatest for the last 12 years.

Thanks,

AD

How many miles on the car and when was the last time you changed your timing belt? Check your oil pressure first to see if it is within spec. If not, its probably time to change the oil pump.
As the oil pump is driven by the timing belt, you may want to consider replacing it at the same time.
